Dear Mr. Jurić,

I would like to extend my congratulations on the organization of the traditional Christmas“To the City with Love” concert, a unique and festive event that has, for 33 years, brought joy, warmth, and a sense of togetherness.

I would also like to sincerely commend your dedicated work and tireless energy invested in preserving tradition, music, and cultural identity. Your perseverance in organizing this concert year after year testifies to your deep love for the city and the people who live in it. Your efforts enrich the cultural life of the community and convey the values that connect us — love, unity, and respect for the heritage we cherish. Events such as this remind us that culture is the foundation of our identity and that through music and art, the warmth of the human heart is expressed in the most beautiful way.

I am especially pleased that this year’s concert is being held in cooperation with HKUD “Petar Zrinski” from Vrbovec, further emphasizing the importance of connection and the preservation of our rich cultural heritage.

I wish for this year’s concert to be filled with music that warms the soul, the smiles of the audience, and the pride of all participants. May every performance be a gift to the city and to all of us, and may your dedication continue to serve as an example of how love for tradition and community is passed from generation to generation.

Finally, I would like once again to thank you for the excellent and content-rich performance at the Promenade of Culture in front of the Ministry at the end of November, which left a strong impression and showcased the full richness of your artistic creativity.
